The Duchess is a medium-weight merino wool blanket at 400 GSM, woven in Yorkshire by John Atkinson by Hainsworth, a British mill with 235 years of history. It is built to be soft, warm and breathable year-round, light enough to layer in warmer months and warm enough for cooler ones. Wool naturally resists dust, dirt and odours, so it needs little care and is meant to last for generations. Against synthetic throws and lighter cotton blankets it trades easy washing for durability and temperature control; owners rate it highly for softness and build.

The Duchess is a medium-weight merino wool blanket at 400 GSM. It is woven by John Atkinson by Hainsworth in Bradford, Yorkshire, in one of the last traditional vertical wool mills in the UK. The edges are finished with satin ribbon binding.
The wool is soft, warm and breathable. It is light enough to layer and suits use through the year. The fibres naturally absorb and release moisture, resist odors and shed dust and dirt, so the blanket needs little laundering. The crimp in the fibre helps it keep its loft.
The wool comes from New Zealand sheep and is independently certified as non-mulesed. The blanket is dyed with AZO-free dyes. The White version is unbleached and undyed, so it is a creamy natural white.
